Welcome to MieNet's 2006 World Cup eBook!


	The second World Cup eBook made freely available at MieNet – the first having been motivated by the 2002 World Cup – aims at contributing to enhance our 2006 World Cup experience, as a soccer fans, making it all the more enjoyable to recall the best moments we have enjoyed and the most remarkable events all along the World Cup! For, beyond the World Cup, itself, this eBook remains as a rich piece of memorabilia, always ready to bring 'alive' every detail, all conveniently placed at our fingertips. If this is your first time using one of MieNet's eBooks, or downloading an e-book in this format, please refer to the pages Enjoy Your eBook! & World Cup eBook FAQ, before you start browsing. You might also wish to take a moment and check a brief Help⁄FAQ Section included in the previous (2002) World Cup eBook. Since this Section is easily accessed on-line (as well as available inside the downloadable 2002 eBook version), it will not be repeated here, but rather linked to, and complemented in the 2006 FAQ. Most of the 2002 FAQ's content can still apply to the current 2006 World Cup eBook, such as navigation tips, how to find information, and related remarks. The downloadable eBook version, in special (as a result of its software), offers excellent Search possibilities. There is no doubt, you will enjoy that greatly. For it is easy to get the hang of it, so you can count on having all the data here included, always at your finger-tips. The on-line version in turn, must of course rely on the site search, which is not as efficient, you'll find out once you get the off-line version. Both eBook versions, on-line and off-line, are alike, and are updated simultaneously (in fact, the on-line version is automatically generated out of the off-line version). Updates are planned also beyond the closing of the 2006 World Cup. Like the eBook, all updates are free. Whenever you get an update, all you need to do is to unzip it–and of course delete the older version! For all that is contained in the older version is always included in the update, along with whatever new data that has prompted the newly updated version. Differently from the 2002 World Cup eBook, which requires the use of auxiliary reading software (freely downloaded, as well), the current (2006) World Cup eBook is self-standing! This means that, once you download your version, it is ready for plug-and-play! All you need to do is to unzip the downloaded zipped eBook file, and (once it is unzipped) just double click on the executable eBook file (100% virus-free, it is important to add!). And voilá! You're already opening the eBook! Do you need an easy-to-use, small yet powerful zip⁄unzip program? Click here and get Freebyte-Zip. It is free! And even better: with the earlier version of this software (HJZip), defective zip files, which I could not open with any software I tried (not even the famous WinZip), I was impressed that I could open with HJZip. So, Freebyte-Zip, HJZip's bigger brother, is really worth having at hand (this software takes less than 300Kb of disk space and requires no installation, by the way). You are welcome to share the 2006 World Cup eBook with your friends. Just please take a look at MieNet's Terms of Use (which apply to all of MieNet's FreeStuff) – after all, this is not much, in exchange for getting this entire 2006 World Cup eBook and its updates all free, and really free. The 2006 World Cup on-line eBook version is of course sole property of MieNet, and may not – in fact must not – be copied or reproduced anywhere. All copyright laws apply. The 2006 World Cup eBook, both on-line and off-line versions, is copyrighted by MieNet. Although you are welcome to have a copy of the downloadable (off-line) version of the current eBook, and even share it freely, the copyright applies just the same – simply you are given the right to have the eBook for your personal use and enjoyment. If you have a Web page and would like to offer the off-line version of the 2006 World Cup eBook for download, to your visitors, you may send MieNet a brief request to do so – you are not allowed to offer the eBook without MieNet's previous consent, please note. Please also note that the on-line version is not to be available anywhere else but on MieNet. If you have a soccer page and would like to exchange links, you are likewise welcome to write, proposing a link exchange. If by any chance you discover that you are already linked to, in the current eBook, a link in return would of course be greatly appreciated. Link related data (incl.images) which you'll find useful is available on this page, in the current eBook. All data here comprised is checked. But as to err is human, there might be a slip here and there, which you could come across, despite the care put into getting this eBook ready. Should you happen to find anything that looks inaccurate or incomplete, you are welcome to – and, in fact, encouraged to – make contact on it. You can count this will be greatly appreciated, as all of us, soccer fans, can benefit! If you'd like to contribute with whatever related special data or information which may be missing here, or which may help make the 2006 World Cup even more enjoyable to all of us, soccer fans, you are likewise welcome to make contact. Whether it is a correction, or an original contribution, that you wish to send in, you can be sure you will be given due credit (unless you prefer not to and specify that clearly, as you make contact – then your wish will of course be respected. Needless to add, your privacy will likewise be fully respected, in either case.). Last, though by no means least, I wish this eBook may be an enjoyable and useful companion to you, following the 2006 World Cup, and a piece of memorabilia that you'll take pleasure in keeping and consulting. At any rate, this second World Cup eBook was intended to surpass the previous in quality, breadth and depth–and it has certainly done that.

Dedicated to . . .

This eBook is firstly dedicated to my sister's family,
and in a special way to Jacques, a future World Cup star?...

This eBook is also dedicated to the wonderful friends
whom I have had the privilege to make around the world,

and who do live in my heart, independently of distance or time.

Finally, it is likewise dedicated to all who love the beautiful game,
who delight in its engaging competition, and its graceful choreography,
who prize the stimulating self-determination and self-transcendence
toward mastery, which it often catalyzes,
who treasure its inspiring inherent spirit of solidarity, fairness & fairplay,
as well as mutual tolerance and mutual respect, all for the sake of a common aim.

Last, though not at all least, this eBook is dedicated, as well, to all
who feel motivated to share and give (regardless of the recipient),
notwithstanding the capitalist cultures in which we may be immersed.
